Cuba and the United States With New Cultural Ties

Havana, Apr 20 (Prensa Latina) Cuba”s Culture Minister, Julián González celebrated today the ties established between this nation and the United States thanks to the visit of a delegation of more than 70 personalities from the northern country.

There are many young people involved and their abilities and interests are very broad, so we want to build a stronger partnership, said the authority of one of largest museum groups in the world.

For the head of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities of the United States, Margo Lion, the visit allows to learn more about the Cuban culture and to build bridges between them. We are interested in all areas of Cuban culture and hope that together we can do more in the future, said the theater producer.

The day before, the members of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities visited several cultural institutions of the capital, visited the headquarters of the theater group La Colmenita, and held exchanges with children and teachers at the Primary School Miguel Fernández Roig.
